NotesNested Book (2008) by Susan Collard
“A board book in the most literal sense. This book emerged from the idea for a nested book structure, one that could be unpacked like a series of matryoshka dolls. A secret compartment at the end of the book houses a removable page with four miniature books.”

NotesSmall Museum of Nature and Industry (2010) by Susan Collard
“The smallest book I’ve made to date, this is a little fatter than a perfect cube. Materials include birch aircraft plywood, basswood, slate, various metals, mirrors, linen thread, and a shell. With the title and materials in mind, I tried to make a book with the open-ended complexity of a miniature museum.”
